LOTR Actors in other movies? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have to say that I'd never heard of most of the actors before seeing FotR. I <B>had</B> heard of Christopher Lee, but as I'm not a horror movie fan, I had never bothered to see any of his films. I had also heard of Sean Astin as my kids and their friends really loved "The Goonies", although I never saw it myself until a couple of weeks ago. I had never heard of Elijah Wood prior to FotR. But in reading a list of his films, I discovered that I <B>had</B> seen him in a movie before. Anyone remember "Paradise"? I saw it years ago and was surprised to read that he had played the little boy in the film.
